ANNOUNCEMENT: Loanee Taïder returns to Inter Milan

Southampton Football Club can confirm that it has agreed to terminate midfielder Saphir Taïder’s loan spell.

The midfielder joined Saints for the 2014/15 campaign but, having failed to live up to the high levels of commitment expected of Southampton players, that arrangement has been cut short by the club.

Taïder, whose only first-team appearance came in the friendly against Bayer 04 Leverkusen last month, now returns to parent club Inter Milan. Dani Osvaldo’s loan arrangement with the Italian side is unaffected.
